What's Shaking

So, I have fallen woefully behind with my blogging. But, I have a new niece! And she is precious! And over a week old. I'm behind. My brother and sister-in-law are doing wonderfully, and adjusting to life without sleep. Although, I have a feeling my brother is still getting some sleep. Dell Harper has not met Charlotte yet, but once things settle down, she is going to be so thrilled to meet this baby we keep talking about!

We hit up the massive fall extravaganza at a local farm's pumpkin patch. The hayride to actual pumpkin patch had an enormous line, so we perused more toddler friendly activities. Like riding in a carts behind an ATV.

Morgan and I were dying to go see the goats and bunnies (um, okay, I was dying), but Miss Priss refused to leave the sandpit. Someone had trouble understanding the fall/farm theme of our activity apparently.

Once she saw the goats? She got it.

Look at this goat in the air! They had this entire elaborate climbing structure for the goats, which went out of their pen and above our heads. I wanted to play on it so badly.

Then the little kid corn maze. Talk about delight! This girl took off!

We had to go through a second time, with her leading me around.

She also got to sit in a giant metal tub of corn- this looked pretty fun. Kind of like the corn version of the gold in Duck Tales. The older kids got a little rough for Miss Priss's taste though.

And I finally got my photo opportunity. I mean, it's not like her outfit was purchased back in August for this single moment or anything.

So, it was a great Sunday. Then Dell Harper started coughing like a seal barking around 11:45 that night, and I knew that sleep was not on my agenda for the night. She had been a little raspy at church, but I chalked it up to playing so hard with her buddies, and her little allergies. Instead, it was croup. And a double ear infection. She is feeling great, and never even ran a fever. I am still exhausted from a night of 45 minutes of sleep while six months pregnant, but am planning on catching up right now!

On my blogging to-do list, I have an amazing dessert recipe to share with y'all, (shocking, since brownies from the box are my main specialty for a sweet treat). I will make it again since I neglected to take pictures last time. I've got my fourth baby meal for the month coming up, and will share the dessert along with my top new-mama meals.
